7 Things I Hate About You (College)

College is great — but sometimes it really sucks.

7 Things I Hate About You (College)
Molly Edmondson

As most of y'all know, I LOVE college. It's my favorite season of life I've had and honestly I think I've thrived. College is just my place.

But there are some drawbacks to it. I've had to make a lot of adjustments in my life. People always try to cover up the bad aspects of their lives, but why bother? So here are the worst parts of college to me.

1. Shower Shoes

I, for one, love a good shower, but having to wear shoes while doing it is killing me.

2. Lack of Sleep

From football games to parties to studying, I feel like I never sleep anymore. 5 hours of sleep is a good night for me currently.

3. Lack of Home-Cooked Meals

Now my mom cooks about five meals that I absolutely love. My sorority makes great food but there is nothing like my mom's cooking.

4. Laundry

I just can't commit to sitting by my laundry for two hours. So currently, my laundry gets done about every three weeks instead of three times a week at home.

5. No Privacy

From roommates to people always busting into your room, there is never any alone time. Sometimes all I want is to escape for the day and not speak to anyone.

6. School Work

I did a ton of homework in high school, but nowhere near as much as here. I barely have time for anything else.

And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do...

7. You make me love you.

College, for as many things I don't like about you, there are a million more that I do love. You have my heart.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
